I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Must See Movie...
Just perfect...
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Really, Channing Tatum as a "High Fae" (Goolgle it OR READ one of Sarah Maas books & you'll get it) what's not to like!!?? Maybe they should let the Sci-fi "Fae readers" rate this as people clearly don't have a clue what's popular in the fantasy book world! This movie was amazing!! Visuals and all! Tatum was the perfect High Fae... of course he didn't refer to himself in those terms but that's what he was in the "Fae" world!
In a bizarrely stylish futuristic world where Marius Pontmercy and his equally savage siblings, that model no one remembers the name of and that guy who played Romeo in that sappy 2013 adaptation, are heirs to the universe, it's up to Magic Mike and Jackie Burkhart to restore peace to the solar system. Sounds hokey, huh? Well, the story is one of the many issues at hand with this movie. Andy and Lana Wachowski, the pair responsible for the Matrix series, brings us Jupiter Ascending, the latest in a string of failures, following Speed Racer and Cloud Atlas.The real issue at hand here is not wasted talent (and trust me, it's wasted), it's Michael Giacchino's score that sounds like an embarrassing rip-off of John Williams' Star Wars music. From epic chorals to an overuse of the string quartet, the music is really enough to make you want to leave the theater.Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis star in this sci-fi wreck that's more likely to be a movie from the SyFy network. If you're looking for chemistry that works, you're not going to find it here. However, you will find actors who have been known to have much more promising work, like Tatum as a Lycan-human wannabe, fresh off from Foxcatcher where, out of the three main stars, two were nominated for Oscars, but alas, Tatum wasn't. Kunis, more famous recently for her roles in critically-acclaimed films such as Black Swan and Ted, is clearly devoted to the role of Jupiter Jones; however, the screenplay does not play to her strengths.But the real surprise, surprise role here is from Eddie Redmayne, who plays the film's main antagonist, a ruthless alien who whispers most of his lines and occasionally shouts, only to have his voice crack as if he'd never gotten past puberty. Now I'm a fan of Redmayne, but this movie is bound to give him a Razzie nomination for Worst Supporting Actor, just after he won Best Actor for playing Stephen Hawking.From overlong chase scenes with colors and noise that makes you want to cover your ears for the remaining two hours, Jupiter is an exercise in patience and not having a spasm from the insane colors. 2.5/5.
Star Trek vs Star Wars, and I'm not a fan of either. A bit too CGI, but nevertheless very well done. I think the Wachovski brothers tried just too hard to bring us another Matrix-style spectacle, but this was a bit overdone. Not everything makes sense here, but it is still an adrenaline-fueled adventure ride, despite lack of a good plot!
Jupiter's dad was an astronomy buff and tagged her with the name "Jupiter Jones" (Mila Kunis) because "Pluto Nash" reeks of a "B" movie. Destined to clean toilets, Jupiter has no idea she has royal DNA, the cosmic Cinderella story. She is going to be the "Queen Bee" of the planet and look beautiful forever, except there are aliens who want her dead and also that enslavement thing. We find out a large corporate family owns the planet and wants to harvest the over populated planet of its human DNA, except for her who happens to have Royal DNA.Her prince is a man named Caine Wise (Channing Tatum) who has flying boots and wolf ears.I didn't see any thank yous in the credits to "Star Odyssey" the "B" Italian film from which the Wachowskis borrowed some of their plot: "The planet is sold to an evil despot named Kress, who soon flies to "Sol 3" to start gathering humanoid slaves to sell to his evil counterparts."Their films (Matrix) once again attempts to introduce ideas of ownership and enslaved masses for a higher class while using ugly creatures that looked like they came from "Dark Crystal." The film fell flat in entertainment as our main character was never developed beyond her DNA and occupation. The plot was laborious in making points interfering with the flow of the film.It could have been better scripted, directed, and edited.Guide: No f-bombs or sex. Partial butt nudity.
